If we are paying to send high school bus routes through all of Lees Corner anyway, I don't think their argument holds a lot of water. A few high school kids playing frogger does not make an entire ES boundary "walkers".

Increasing bus ride by 5 to 6 miles and increasing it more than 30 minutes is significant..

hey, its you! the Chantilly lady who exaggerates time and distance when we all have google maps.

its not thirty minutes from lees corner es to westfield hs at any time of day.

Its a 9-14 minute trip to arrive to school by 8 am on a school day.
Its a 9-20 minute trip to arrive home by 3:30 pm on a school day.

Its hard for people to take you seriously when you lie about clearly knowable facts.

You have obviously never been on a school bus.

If the length of the bus ride is the most important factor, then Lees Corner loses that point to the Centreville kids, who are much farther away and going with commuter traffic in the morning and evening (LS is against commuter traffic both ways).

The HS bus for our SFH neighborhood fills up in three stops. The routes aren't that long.

I think its very obvious why the consultants moved that area in 2 out of their 3 options. It checked the box for multiple categories.

I don't think they will end up moved, for political reasons, but it makes more logical sense then moving many other areas. Its basically tied with moving the Centreville areas.

Pros and cons to both but there's no argument factually that the Lees Corner zone is much closer to Westfield than all or most of that Centreville area is to Westfield. Look how far away that western part of the Centreville neighborhoods are from Westfield. Its as far or farther than the areas being moved out of Westfield to Skyview because they are too far away.

Mileage from Lees Corner ES to Westfield HS: 4.1 miles.

How is it possible to increase the commute by 5 to 6 miles when Chantilly and Westfield are only 4.8 miles apart?

Yep, a huge road was a natural barrier for the consultants. They are getting bused anyway so what's a little farther? The thought process is clear.
